Friday's adoring Associated Press piece concerning Nobel Laureate Al Gore's noble decision to take the train from the Oslo airport rather than the traditional motorcade to his hotel neglected something else besides the huge amount of carbon dioxide being emitted by the Global Warmingist-in-Chief: his luggage!
After all, Gore and wife Tipper aren't going to wear the same clothes this entire trip they wore on the plane, right?
So, where was all their baggage as the couple took the train?
Well, according to the Norwegian website VG Nett, Gore's luggage went by Mercedes van (h/t NB reader in Norway Trond Ruud who supplied the following translation):
Do you think his luggage bought carbon credits to offset the greenhouse gases emitted on the trip from the airport?
Honestly, would it have been too much like journalism for the AP to inquire about where Gore's luggage was, or might that have interfered with the agenda?

The luggage taking the Mercedes aside; For a Lear Jet Liberal the very notion if taking the train is like ordering a Diet coke with your triple combo with cheese. Talk about symbolism over substance.
Another inconvenient truth for the Con Artist named Albert Arnold Gore, Jr.
How did Gore get to the Oslo Airport????
Did He fly commercial or did He fly by Private Jet and What size Private Jet if that be the case??
Wonder if He will go into the Coed Nude sauna’s while he is there? more power wasted! He is so fat he will cool the Sauna dowm.
Al Gore flew into the Oslo Airport.
And boy, are his arms tired! /rimshot
same question,
about Gore traveling to Bali.

Darn that Al sure is smart. First, it’s the internet, now he’s invented a way to cut global warming by fifty percent: when you fly, leave your luggage home.
How so? Kinda late for Al to get into this at this point. Would be nice though as he is so target rich.
He got local advice. Norwegians are hyperegalitarian and would take a dim view of motorcading for anyone no matter how exalted he may otherwise be.
Well, it’s not Gore’s fault that when they designed the train they didn’t make it so that it could carry luggage.
Did the Gores ride the train with everyone else who wanted to go to Oslo from the airport, or did they get a private car?
They look awfully isolated! When my mom and I took the train from the airport to Amsterdam, I stood the whole way with my suitcase on my feet.
I took the train in Oslo last year and it’s pretty good but like all travel, humping my luggage was the hard part. Not having to carry your bags makes it a lot different.
Just checked!
It was a public train with private cars and no passengers were allowed on it so Al wouldnt to be bothered by the everyday commoners!
Maybe a silly question, but who, exactly, is paying for all of Gore’s travels?
The Love Song of J. Albert Bore:
“Now take it easy folks, this Gulfstream V private jet is just for my luggage, which always wants to travel in the best style and convenience. I on the other hand would be happy to ride in the baggage car on a train or the cargo hold of a ship, if it were not for my most demanding baggage..... so I am purchasing more “carbon credits” for my luggage, from myself...... so my left hand purchases the “carbon credits” from my right hand, and both hands are happy! See how easy it is to be a socialist nutter?”
I don’t know the cut off days by state to get on the ballot, but if Shill loses the first two, they’ll be scrambling for a “senior pol” to run.
